Angel Williams holds what appears to be the first issue of the iconic music magazine Rolling Stone, published in Nov. 1967 and featuring John Lennon on the cover, on April 1, 2022. Williams found the magazine while dumpster diving about a year ago.

I had an uncle that was a driller on big oil rigs. He was very unassuming. On his days off he (and me) would go up to the local dumps and scavenge for metal and anything else we might find useful. (Lots of hard hats and boots from oil workers that lasted a week, got paid and left!)
I thought he must have been pretty hard up.
As we were putting stuff away in his huge garage with all of the shelves and boxes he said he was waiting for copper to get to x amount of dollars, and aluminum to y, etc. Then he said how he divided it up into about 50 pounds a box.
I tried to make a quick inventory of the 100’s of boxes he had stored. I guessed he had $40k worth of metal.
And then when the other workers told me how much he made as a top driller I was amazed. But - he liked to do it, and he made some money too. He really liked exploring for the old dumps from the various ghost towns where he would do it just like gold mining (which he did too).
Wade along in the creeks looking for old garbage, and then follow it up to the “mother lode” of the old garbage dump! He had all sorts of old bottles, buttons, etc.
I knew of a guy, about ten years ago, who did dumpster diving at the end of each month to take advantage of apartment dwellers who threw out stuff rather than take stuff with them when they moved.
He said he made an additional couple of thousand doing that.
Report hell.
I was helping your feeb pal with his question.
Nasty bastard didn’t even thank me.
I’ve certainly shopped at Goodwill, et al. I’d dumpster dive, if I saw something I liked.
I saw that as well yesterday - just SMH /LOL and thinking . . . I knew it was only a matter of time before “bumblestunner” got upset enough at the disrespect around here to finally bring in an Admin Moderator.
Back on topic:
Take Moms to the dollar store so she stays outta the dumpsters. Those things are FILTHY.
The jackass suggested asking a moderator.
Too damned bad if it made him look like a tard.
Nukkas be disrespeckin. Better axt somebody.
Amirite, Bumpkin?
Hey, wait. Did you just talk about somebody without pinging them? Isn't that against the rules of The World According To Humblegunner?
That's your second infraction in one day and it's going on your permanent record.
#StraightenUpAndFlyRight
Oh noes, not the permanent record.

You can spin things all you want, but you know the truth.
Fact is you just don’t like it and your feeb pal got his
ass handed to him with sprinkles and a bow on it.
Does her home have bed bugs
Yes, you're right. You told on him real good. It's always the best policy to notify the authorities rather than to mete out vigilante justice. We are, after all, a civil society with rules and laws and stuff.
